Manny Pacquiao needs to be on twitter. So Imagine my surprise when I recently found out that Boxing Icon had officially kicked off his own twitter account.

On the 22nd of this month, Manny Pacquiao signed on to his new twitter account and posted this tweet: "hello guys its me Cong. Manny this is my new and official twitter account hello everybody thank you for all your support pls. watch my fight"

As of now, a mere 6 days since opening shop on twitter, Pacquiao has amassed 12,432 followers. He is averaging over 2000 new followers a day. Damn, that is impressive. Numbers like that only prove Pacquiao is on fire and no amount of water can douse these flames!

The picture on this page of Manny Pacquiao and his gorgeous wife, Jinkee, is the photo found accompanying Pacquiao's twitter page. (You can tell both of them love America in this photo!)
